Astronomical Calculations for The Astronomical Calculations for The Real Star of Bethlehem While the spectacular astronomical signs in the 18 months from May 3 B.C. to December 2 B.C. would have caused wonderful interpretations by astrologers on behalf of Augustus and the Roman Empire, the Magi decided to go to Jerusalem with gifts to a newborn Jewish king. The Magi focused on Judaea and not Rome at this crucial time in history. Let us look at some of the astrological and biblical factors that may have brought the Magi to Jerusalem and then to Bethlehem. Since the New Testament says the Magi saw the “star” rising in the east, it would most naturally be called a “morning star.” The Book of Revelation has Jesus saying of himself, “I am the root and offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.” 1 The apostle Peter also mentioned that Jesus was symbolically associated with “the day star.” 2 The above verses refer to celestial bodies that were well known and recognized in the 1st century and they inspired symbolic messianic interpretation by early Christians. There were several prophecies in Isaiah which generally were interpreted as referring to the Messiah. One has definite astronomical overtones to it. Isaiah said, “The Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.” 3 This prophecy could easily refer to the rising of some star. It would be particularly appropriate to a “morning” or “day” star. Luke, in his Gospel, referring to the celestial symbolism of Isaiah 60:3 which spoke of God as being “the daybreak [the rising] from on high that hath visited us, to give light to them that sit in darkness.” 4 Astronomy and the New Testament These references reveal that celestial bodies were symbolically important to the New Testament writers. We know that the generality of the world was then engrossed with such symbolic concepts. The rising of a star or planet just before sunrise was particularly significant in interpreting events relating to important people. And Luke in his Gospel refers to Jesus as a star which will bring great light to all the world. With this in mind, let us recall from our first chapter that on morning of August 12, 3 B.C. (about an hour and twenty minutes before sunrise), Jupiter rose as a morning star in conjunction with Venus. How would astrologers or Magi have interpreted this union? Let us took at some of the generally accepted beliefs of astrologers who lived in the time of Augustus and Herod. Jupiter was known astrologically as the Father of the Gods. The planet Jupiter symbolized this deity. And in early August 2 B.C. Jupiter had just left its vicinity near the Sun and conjoined with Venus. This could have been an indication of a coming birth. “Jupiter often was associated with the birth of kings and therefore called the King planet.” 5 And here was the King planet in conjunction with Venus. To the Chaldeans and the Magi, Venus was Ishtar, the Mother, the Goddess of Fertility. Thus 1 Jupiter (the Father) was now in conjunction with Venus (the Mother). Could this have signified to astrologers that the birth of a new king was imminent? This conjunction could have been a favorable sign because these two planets were known by astrologers as the Greater and the Lesser Good Fortunes of all the planets. And note this: while this conjunction was occurring, the Sun (the Supreme Father), the Moon (considered a Mother), and Mercury (the Messenger of the Gods) were located in the single constellation of Leo, the Lion. Christians called Jesus “the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David.” 6 These primary bodies clustering in Leo while Jupiter and Venus were now in close union may reflect biblical significance. Note Olcott’s remarks about the sign of Leo, “The Lion was the symbol of the Tribe of Judah, and the constellation appears in the Hebrew zodiac. ... The association of Leo with Judah arose from the fact that Leo was Judah’s natal sign. In the Bible there are frequent allusions to this connection between Leo and the tribe of Judah. Thus we read: ‘Judah is the Lion’s whelp,’ and again, ‘The Lion of the tribe of Judah.’” 7 The interesting astral relationships which occurred in the pre-dawn of August 12, 3 B.C. could well have signified to astrologers that some important royal event was soon to happen in the Jewish nation. Grand Astronomical Displays Another interesting celestial occasion occurred in the heavens twenty days later. Mercury (the Messenger of the Gods) left its position with the Sun (the Supreme Father) and positioned itself in close conjunction with Venus. This took place when the Sun had just entered the constellation of Virgo (the Virgin). Mercury (the Messenger) and Venus were then in the constellation of Leo (the Lion) and Jupiter (the King planet) was just then entering Leo. All these astral signs echo clear biblical themes. God was called “the Sun of righteousness” in Malachi 4:2, and in the New Testament he is called God the Father. Christians believed that God’s son was to be born of a virgin, to be a descendent of Judah (Leo, the Lion), and destined to be introduced by a Messenger (John the Baptist). “As it is written in the prophets, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.’” 8 Were these celestial relationships a signal to the Magi that some royal birth was soon to occur among the Jews? This was not all that happened in the year 3/2 B.C. Following these initial planetary conjunctions, Jupiter then moved on (as we have shown in chapter one) to unite with the star Regulus on September 14, 3 B.C. Indeed, it joined with Regulus on three different occasions within that astronomical year. Signaling the Birth of a King 2 These three unions could have been of great consequence to astrologers. Regulus was known as “the King.” The Romans referred to it as “Rex,” which means “King” in Latin. In Arabia the star was known as the “Kingly One.” The Greeks called it the “King Star.” Of all the stars in the heavens, Regulus was universally associated by the ancient astrologers with the attributes of greatness and power. It is located practically on the ecliptic (the path which the Sun takes in traversing the heavens). It was thought that this position made it of special importance to the Sun. According to astrologers the Sun ruled the heavens. Thus, the major star closest to the ecliptic of the “ruling” Sun was Regulus. This close relationship to the Sun made Regulus a “royal star,” the one most associated with the conception or birth of kings. It was the star denoting rulership. With this in mind, we should recall the prophecy of Balaam recorded by Moses. He spoke about a “star” to rise in Israel that would be connected with rulership or dominion. “A star shall come out of Jacob and a sceptre [ruling rod] shall rise out of Israel.” 9 The arrangement of the verses in the prophecy shows that the “star” is connected with a “sceptre.” This suggests that the “star” would symbolically represent “dominion.” This is made clear in the following verse of the prophecy. “Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion.” 10 This is why the “sceptre” is associated with the “star.” It was the tribe of Judah (Leo, the Lion) that was prophesied to possess this sceptre in Israel. “Judah is a lion’s whelp ... he couched as a lion ... the sceptre shall not depart from Judah until Shiloh come.” 11 Since the Bible talks of the “star,” a “sceptre,” and Judah (the Lion, Leo), the only star in the heavens that fits this combination of factors mentioned by Balaam is the star Regulus (the King star). The Use of Biblical Astronomy in Prophetic Themes In biblical symbolism, Regulus is the Star of the Messiah. It is located directly between the feet of the Lion in the constellation of Leo. Moses even prophesied that Judah (the Lion) would have a “lawgiver from [ruling staff] between his feet until Shiloh come.” 12 Alfred Jeremias back in 1911 showed that this prophecy referred to the star Regulus (the star of rulership). 13 This was also shown by Roger W. Sinnott in his article in Sky and Telescope. 14 There can hardly be a doubt that this determination of Sinnott and Jeremias is correct. It has always been known that the major star Regulus, which was situated practically on the ecliptic of the Sun, was between the Lion’s paws. Indeed, Regulus was (and still is) positioned precisely where the prophecy placed it: “between the feet” of Leo (the Lion). Note the following diagram. 3 Diagram courtesy of Sky and Telescope. Leo was the constellation assigned to Judah. When it is realized that Regulus was recognized by the early Jews as the Star of the Messiah, we can then symbolically apply some significant astronomical occurrences in the year 3 to 2 B.C. that involved Regulus and the planet Jupiter. The King Planet and the King Star Let us now look at the interesting heavenly relationships that developed between Jupiter (the King planet) and Regulus (the King star) in the year 3/2 B.C. There were three conjunctions in which both heavenly bodies seemed to be centering on each other (over an eight month period). It was as if Jupiter were homing in on Regulus, using it as an axis and directing earthly attention to it.

Mazza, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2009 This dissertation examines the citational use of the Judeo-Christian Bible in two sociopolitical debates within the United States: first, the debate over the abolition of slavery in the nineteenth century, and second, the contemporary debate over gay rights. This study incorporates two core theses. First, I argue that the contemporary religious right, in its anti-gay use of the Bible, is replicating the hermeneutical practices used by opponents of the abolitionist movement. My second thesis parallels the first: I argue that the contemporary activists who reclaim the Bible as a pro-gay instrument are standing in the same hermeneutical tradition as nineteenth-century Christian abolitionists.

  • The Birth of Christ & Christmas Star- a Possible Explanation
    The Birth of Christ & Christmas Star- A Possible Explanation By Rich Jacobs, M.D. Godʼs Word tells us about the “Star of Bethlehem”. This star has baffled believers and cynics alike for generations. To know what the Christmas star could have been, we must first look at what Godʼs Word has to say about it. Then, we must look to the historical and astronomical clues to gather the facts we need to come to a conclusion. And, we must forget all the wrong things we have been told about the Star and that wonderful night, if we are to come to the truth. Letʼs begin with Godʼs Word. Matthew 2:1-12 1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him." 3 When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 When he had called together all the people's chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born. 5 "In Bethlehem in Judea," they replied, "for this is what the prophet has written: 6 "'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.'" 7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared.

  • Star of Bethlehem: an Astronomical and Historical Perspective
    THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM: AN ASTRONOMICAL AND HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE By Susan S. Carroll The Star of Bethlehem is one of the most powerful, and enigmatic, symbols of Christianity. Second perhaps only to the Cross of the Crucifixion, the importance of its role in the story of the Nativity of the Christ child is almost on a par with the birth itself. However, the true origin of the Star of Bethlehem has baffled astronomers, historians, and theologians for the past two millennia. For the purposes of this discussion we shall consider four possibilities: That the star was a one-shot occurrence - never before seen and has not been seen since; it was placed in the sky by God to announce the birth of His Son; That the Star was added to the story of the Nativity after the fact; That the Star was a real, documentable astronomical object; That the entire New Testament is fake. If you subscribe to the first theory, then we, as astronomers, have nothing to talk about. It was a supernatural miracle that defies scientific explanation. However, many theologians insist on putting some sort of divine interpretation on Matthew s writings. By admitting that the Star was a natural phenomenon, with an actual scientific explanation, is tantamount to totally removing its heavy symbolic significance. After all, how could something so miraculous have such a mundane explanation? There is a certain amount of credence to the second theory. At the time of Jesus' birth, very few people recognized its significance. The only time the Star is mentioned at all is in the Book of Matthew.

  • Christmas Ball Star of Bethlehem by Mary Ann Stephens
    “Star of Bethlehem” Christmas Ball Pattern overview: Circularly-knit, ball-shaped ornament with symmetrical, stranded knitting motif repeated across all four panels. I-cord hanging loop is shown, but the common crocheted chain loop will work, too. If you’re having trouble understanding the layout of the chart, this article of mine should prove helpful. Suggested yarn: A (background): One 50g ball of Dale of Norway “Heilo” 100% Norwegian wool or “Falk” 100% superwash wool in Off-White #0018. B (motif): One 50g ball of Dale of Norway “Gullfasan” 90% viscose / 10% polyamide metallic yarn in Gold #2633. Note: Heilo and Gullfasan have been discontinued; Falk is no longer sold in North America. To get comparably sized balls (approximately 3” / 8cm) you can substitute with many other sport to DK weight yarns. GAUGE: The gauge on the ball shown is about 28 stitches per 4” / 10cm. But, in this case, the gauge is not crucial. What matters is that you’re happy with the resulting fabric and that you keep your gauge consistent across multiple balls, especially if they will be hanging together on your tree. NEEDLES: US #3 / 3.25mm, or whatever size needle you need to obtain your preferred gauge. You can use double-pointed needles (extra helpful, but not essential, for the I-cord hanging loop), one long circular needle with the magic loop method, or two circular needles. NOTIONS: Wool or polyester batting, to stuff the balls. I always love wool, and it makes a nice, firm stuffing, especially for balls that are meant to be decorative keepsakes.
